Dependencies from a multi-module Maven Pom

Ivy should be able to resolve modules defined in a pom like that:
<modules>
<module>unitils-core</module>
<module>unitils-testng</module>
<module>unitils-database</module>
</modules>

Maybe with the use of a own configuration as discussed here: http://osdir.com/ml/apache.incubator.ivy.user/2008-03/msg00157.html

Another example is Unitils (see https://unitils.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/unitils/trunk/pom.xml)
